PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

A Washington correspondent speak
ing Of the beneficial effects of the
Presidents Western and Southern tour,
says this: " 1t is the opinion, in
which not only his friends, but non
partisan observers indulge, that the
Presidents western trip has had the
effect of more closely uniting the dis
cordant factions of the Democratic
party, and besides, winning substan
tial popularity with the independent
element of voters The Presidents
course on thus trip has been most dig
nitied and commendable, and his pub
lie utterances, happily void of all
partisan favor, have abounded in pa
triotic feeling and broad national SEN
timents. Direct personal contact with
the people, to whom the President was
hitherto unknown, revealed TO them
the able, honest man that he is, and
has produced an impression that not
only strengthens their respect and
admiration for him as the Chief Mag
iStrate, but will manifest itself in in
creased Democratic votes in 1888.
should Mr.. Cleveland be renominated.
The enthusiasm everywhere shown at
his presence, is not alone the expression
OF that natural curiosity to see the
President of IS ,ooo, 900 people. There
is deeper and more significant feel
ing actuating this unbroken series of
demonstration in his honor.
and one which may we'll afford politi
cal prophets food for thought. 1t is
the evident conviction among the peo-
pie that Mr.. Cleveland is honest and
capable, and that the affairs of the
Government are being conducted for
the advancement Of our national in
terests, Tor the good of the country.
and not for the perpetuation of the
Democratic party. 1t may be inter- |
estlng to watch the progress and the
result of this growing strength"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and his
party reached Washington Saturday
morning at 20 minutes before J O'Clock,
on their return from their Western
and Southern trip The visit took
the party through eighteen States and
made run of $500 miles. There
was no accident and no sickness on
the way, and aside from the political
aspect Of it one must conclude that
the Presidents tour has been bene-
fetal alike to himself and others. 1t
has brought him in closer contact
with masses of the people and &C
quainted him better with portions of
our country of which he personally
knew SO little, giving both a better
understanding of each other which
will be productive to great good no
doubt.

AN advance in the science and skill
of la:lrta ing ispromised. H. c. Gen
try, Of Westminster, Md, has invented
a railway switch and railway coach
warranted not to leave the track even
if rail should be removed. The car
wheel is made with two flanges, and if
a broken or turned lover rail should be
on the road the car will adhere to the
track by the opposite wheel keeping
its position, and the other jump from
tie to tie until it reaches the next rail,
when it will remount the track and
the train proceed in safety. The "frog"
is entirely dispensed with and switch
opened from the main track, somewhat
similar to the one now in use, which
also operates the danger signal. The
invention, says the Baltimore Sun, is
by railroad men who have
seen it as one of great merit.

The existing school laws of the
State are anything but satisfactory in
many respects, and soon or late a re
vision and remedy will be demand
ed. The Concord Times speaking
on the subject says:
The school tax in North Carolina is
now about I21a cts on the one hun
dred dollars valuation. Over nine
tenths. of this is paid by the white peo-
pie of the State. The colored peo-
pie, in the distribution of it, stand on
an equal footing with the white peo-
pie, and receive equal advantages from
it. Indeed thirds OF the money
IN some instances, goes to educate the
colored children. This is unjust and
unfair to the whites. If the white
people pay nine-tenths of the school
money, ninc-tenths of it should 90 to
educate their children. In the face of
these facts, Northern cranks and pro-
fessed zealots in the cause of the
education OF the colored lace raise a
great hue and cry about the way the
"poor negro" In the South is down
trodden, oppressed and denied help of
and kind from the whites. "What

THERE has just occurred across the
deep blue sea, over in England, the
death of a gentleman the tidings OF
which will carry sorrow to many a
Southern heart. 1t was the Right
Honorable Alexander James Beresford-
Hope, member of Parliament for
Cambridge University. He was dis
tinguished in the world of letters, but
was especially dear to the South be-
cause of his active, outspoken espousal
of her cause throughout the years of
the civil war. In 1875 he gave Viz.
ginia 4 statue of Stonewall Jackson.
He was gentleman of wealth and
employed large sums in public and
private benefactions.

ONCE more peace like a sweet bene-

views the pleasing aspect and says:
Indian troubles may now be con-

getting cooler and the tribes have rub
bed off their war paint and are settling
down quietly for the winter and to
the business of drawing blankets and
provcnder from Uncle Sam. The
noble red man is altogether a different
animal in the winter from what he is
IN the summer time, being, during
the latter season, decidedly averse
to the society of white men except for
brief and murderouS intervals.
